The January 6 meeting was called to order immediately following our Installation Potluck Dinner at 6:00 PM. We recited the Pledge of Allegiance to our flag and Leslie Crumbly read the CowBelle Creed. 24 people attended, including families and guests of members.
President Kim Clark proceeded in dismissing the outgoing officers and then swore in new officers for the 2023 year: Pat Hunt as President, Michelle Greeman as Vice President, Cyndi Donovan as Treasurer and Carol Crosley as Secretary. Pat Hunt was chosen as our 2022 CowBelle of the Year. This was a popular decision, given Pat’s continuing work on behalf of the club throughout some difficult years.
Michelle Greeman gave a brief but informative report on NM CowBelles, highlighting NM AgFest 2023 to be held at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center on February 16th. The Southern Region District Meeting and Workshops will be held on February 25, 2023 in Alamogordo NM. Specifics on time and location soon to follow. She filled us in on 2023 NMCB officers and what we can be watching for in the coming year. There is also good news that Margie McKeen will again host Ranch Days at their place this year and volunteers are sought.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 PM.
*President’s Note: Though we discussed a CCB meeting in February, I realize that many members will be attending the Southern District Meeting in Alamogordo on February 25th. Consequently, our next meeting is scheduled for March 21st at 11:30 am at Grant County Extension Office.
